The Design
About Tura Bord
Tura-bordet er inspirert av pyramidene, bygget av Tura-stein, et symbol på motstandskraft og historie. Denne påvirkningen har formet både navn og design, og smelter sammen gammel og moderne estetikk. Bordet har tre steinlignende baser, laget i glassfiber for å gjenskape steinens tekstur samtidig som vekten reduseres. En sømløs glassplate, festet med silikonliming, kontrasterer den ru teksturen under. Steinene gir stabilitet, mens glasset tilfører letthet og funksjonalitet. Denne fusjonen av historie og moderne håndverk gjør Tura-bordet til et tidløst signaturmøbel.
